How Long Does It Take To Transfer Funds With or Without a Debit Card?
Depending on the method of transfer you have chosen, the transfer period will differ. If you transfer money using your connected debit and credit cards, expect the money to arrive immediately. However, some transfers may last longer. You can get the money in your Cash App account within five business days, for instance, if you submit money via bank transfer within the app.
On the other hand, if you go with the cash deposit option, the funds will be in your account in two hours. If the apps are directly linked, the money should be in your Chime account in one to three business days. Your cash should appear right away if you transfer money using a linked debit card.
Transferring Money Between These Two Apps Is Perfectly Safe
When it comes to their mobile apps, both Chime and Cash App both use safety solutions to protect their users. For instance, the Cash App makes use of fraud prevention and encryption technology, which greatly increases security while you send money. On the other hand, Chime is a business that is FDIC-insured, protecting you up to $250,000. You will therefore be guaranteed the amount you had if your Chime funds are lost as a result of a technical error.
Both these apps provide a secure and easy way to transfer desired funds between your accounts. You can choose the option to link them directly and have access to Free Transfer if you don’t require money immediately. You can also link your debit card to both apps for your convenience. This allows you to avoid making cash deposits and making trips to the bank or using the ATM.
